A driver has surrendered to police after fleeing the scene of an illegal street race near Los Angeles, where two died after he lost control of his sports car and plowed into a crowd, police said on Sunday.

Henry Gevorgyan, 21, turned himself in late on Saturday, according to an officer at the Los Angeles Police Department’s central division.
